Aaah, consequences
I remember them well.

Bring them back, I say.

On a serious note, yes I agree - I wasn't badly behaved really, but on the occassions I was, was 'disciplined' (read: battered by my mother). It hasn't rendered me some psychotic, mal-adjusted neanderthal as a result. Although it has partly informed my decsion not to be a parent, among other reasons (selfishness, lack of paternal instinct and the fact that I just don't find babies particularly appealing or interesting). I have a very long patience threshold in most cases, but can be quite volatile when tipped over the edge - I wouldn't want to inflict that on a child.
